Posting as someone who was at Richmond for the 62-6 win. It kind of followed the pattern of earlier London Broncos games, London started strongly got 10-0 up and then conceded a try to old boy Emmanal

True. There's a witches curse on us that can only be broken by urinating on the centre spot of the old Watersheddings pitch. Trouble is, its now in the living room of someone's house!!!!!!

Good luck to all teams. Best of luck to Midlands Hurricanes who by no fault of their own get a bye into the next round.

Looks like an afternoon refereeing Masters on Saturday now, and possibly a trip to Oldham on Sunday to watch a game.

Dons will rotate squad a bit. Probably bring Boas, Vukilipanji, Misky, Springer and Baldwinson in. I'll say Dons by 26.

Only 2 games I expect to be close are Dewsbury v Widnes and Goole v Whitehaven.

Lots of rotations, possibly no loan players at some clubs means that the results of these games are almost impossible to predict.

I get the impression that a few clubs will be quite happy to lose in the 1st round and save some money.

Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

Lots of rotations and no loan players here. I can categorically state this is one club that wouldn't be happy to lose.

Nowt to be made from any games based on information gained in the last six months.

Sorry Click. How stupid of me not to concede to London.

I never said anything about being stupid, no need to apologise.

I just thought the post was funny.

Provided you avoid London in the preceding rounds, you will be in the final.

They can flip McConnell into the 9, then just use one of the forwards off the bench if Misky needs a rest..

 

However, Dons 36-0 at half time, Gebbie 2, Holmes 2, Johnson and Boas, all converted.

Decent result without ever getting out of 2nd gear. Really felt like we were playing with next week in mind. Titus Gwaze was our best forward. More minutes and he'd have been mom. Gebbie was official mom but most fans will be picking Tom Holmes I suspect.

There is a bus load of Salford fans leaving the Eco Power wishing it was that score.
